Virtual Machine applications that virtualize x86_64 computer platforms. Mac applications that are originally created for Intel-based Mac computers work on Mac computers with Apple M1 chip out of the box by utilizing the Rosetta framework - a translation process that allows running Intel x86_64 applications on Apple M1 chip. Rosetta can translate most Intel-based applications, but it can't translate the following executables: If you are switching from a Mac with an Intel processor to a Mac with Apple M1 Chip or the other way around, please refer to KB 125344 for more details.
Therefore, a virtual machine created on an Intel-based Mac cannot be used on a Mac with M1 Chip, and vise-versa. Software applications are heavily dependent on a computer's CPU architecture: an application that is compiled (created) for one architecture, cannot be easily run on another architecture. Virtual machines created on Intel-based Mac computers have x86_64 CPU architecture that is fundamentally different from the ARM architecture. It is built on ARM architecture and includes a system on a chip (SoC) that combines numerous powerful technologies into a single silicon, featuring a unified memory architecture for dramatically improved performance and efficiency. Apple M1 chip is a successor of iPad’s A14Z chip and the first designed specifically for the Mac.
